Summary
Sasuke/Naruto: Naruto left when he was 12 from everything he knew. He left because he thought it would be easier on the ones he loved. He didn't expect to find a home and acceptance amongst a whole new family, but he did.
Edward/Jacob: Jacob is stubborn. When his best friend leaves him, he refuses to be angry. When his love moves on to someone else, he refuses to be heart broken. But when emotions run high and realization hits him square in the face, will he fess up to his problems, or run away from them?
When Naruto came into the lives of the Cullen's and the La Push wolf pack, everything changes. When he leaves, everything falls apart. What happens when he comes back?
Pairings: Sasuke/Naruto, Edward/Jacob.
(More in the future!)
Ratings: M for mature scenes, language and violence.
Warnings: Slash, yaoi, whatever you want to call it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, which is saddening, nor do I own Twilight; which is actually kind of okay because cinematically speaking, that movie is awful. I also do not own any of the song references used in this story.
I do, however, own this story. Because I wrote it.
This story is also in the Naruto/Twilight crossover section under, 'Demonology and Heartache.'
Song: Comin' Home by City and Colour.
Naruto peered through the leafy overhang, eyes focusing the large, very open house that lay beyond it. He was nervous and anxious. It was bubbling over and spilling into his happiness. He tried to quash the feeling but it always came back, making its way to etch upon his face and cause him to bite his lip.
He was happy. He'd been gone for longer than he wanted to be and he was glad to be back at the place called home. The amount of time he'd spent here previously made him believe that this was where he belonged; this is where home would always be.
Yes, he was happy to back. But he wondered whether trouble would appear after his return, or rather, because of it. His sudden departure was sure to of been hard on the people he called family; there was really no doubt about it. And he knew that it was wrong to go without saying anything, but his urges and his actions were his own; he only hoped they understood this.
Sighing, he shifted his gear and eased onto the accelerator, slowly making his way up their ridiculously long driveway. Naruto tried to go as slow as possible, something that he'd never really done, but inevitably, the driveway ran out of 'way' and he reluctantly shut off his car.
Staring ahead at the house, his teeth were still nervously chewing away at his lip. For a minute, he debated whether or not going inside but he knew that, if anyone was home, they already knew he was here. It was a game of who would cave and appear first, and Naruto knew he'd be the first.
Sighing, he opened his door and got out of the car. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket and stilled himself. Naruto breathed in the Forks air, listened to the animal life that lived within the forests that surrounded him and let the wind slip past him without worry. It was good to be back.
Quickly, as if scared he'd lose his new found bravery, he hurried to the front door and knocked loudly. He bounced on the balls of his feet as he waited for someone to answer the door. They should have answered by now. It made him feel good to know that they were as nervous as he was.
Slowly, the door inched open and he could slowly make out the pixie like face behind the door, the girl's eyes wide and disbelieving.
"Hey," Naruto chuckled nervously, his hand rubbing at the back of his neck sheepishly. He tried to hold a grin but that look on her face held it in a stubborn frown, "This wasn't how I was expecting the reunion to go," he muttered, although he knew she could hear.
"Naruto," she breathed out, eyes still as wide as they were before. They were dissecting him and putting him back together. Blinking more times than necessary. Burning into his face and body and extracting every detail possible. Anything, to make her believe that the once boy that had run off was standing in front of her. She moved forward and lifted her hand, slowly resting it onto his chest, "Naruto!"
She grinned and jumped forward, small arms wrapping around his neck in enjoyment and protection. Despite their looks, she was older and considered herself his bigger sister, "Gosh, you big silly! It took you a while to come back! I missed you so much. Well actually, we all missed you a lot so I don't want to sound selfish and say that I was the only one who missed you cause that would be dishonest and the-"
Laughing inside at the familiar scene, Naruto clamped his hand over her mouth, chuckling aloud as he felt her lips motoring along for a second or two before she realized there was a hand muffling her voice, "Sorry," she grinned, eyes smiling along with her happy posture.
"Can you bring him in now?" a booming, impatient voice yelled from the living room, "Stop hogging him, Alice!"
Naruto laughed and held the girls small hand in his over sized palm as they walked into the Cullen living room, proudly showing the whole family, save for one.
It still amazed Naruto when he saw the family. They were opposites but so similar, all beautiful in a unique and enticing way. When he'd first come here, he'd felt so out of place, like his meager appearance didn't belong in the house or around the Cullen's. But their personalities and open arms quickly changed his view.
The feeling of being balled over and landing with a thunk on the floor brought Naruto out of his musings, instead looking up at Emmett with wide eyes of shock. He quickly recovered though and allowed a smile to cover his features, "Hey Em," he greeted shyly.
"Hey Em," the bigger boy mimicked, grinning down at the blonde who was currently crushed under him, "Hey Bro! It's good to see you again!"
"Yeah," Naruto agreed, a chill going through his body at the block of ice that was currently trying to suffocate him, "It would be better if you weren't on top of me."
Smiling sheepishly, Emmett quickly let himself off to take his place next to his blond haired mate. A hand presented itself to Naruto and he accepted it with a Thanks, happy to see Jasper smiling at him affectionately, "Naruto. It's been a while."
Grinning, Naruto pulled the other, stiff boy into a hug, "You always were too…serious."
"Or you're too childish," Jasper mused, smiling at the frown that crossed the other's features.
"Naruto," a softer voice called and he turned to smile softly at the women he often thought of as his own mother, "Oh, you've grown since I last saw you." The woman softly laid her hand on his arm, sizing him up as if to make sure he was unharmed, and then pulled him into a hug.
"Hey, Esme," Naruto smiled. Despite her temperature, her hugs were always warm. It confused him, how this could be so. But she was a radiant and beautiful person so he wasn't ever surprised when the hugs made him happier.
He looked over her shoulder to see Carlisle standing protectively behind her, a warm smile marking his lips, his golden eyes boring into Naruto's. Naruto pulled away from Esme and held out his hand toward's the proud man, "Carlisle."
Taking it softly, Carlisle shook the hand, "Naruto, it's a pleasure to have you back."
"It's good to be back," he smiled. Tilting his head to the side, he caught Rosalie looking at him and then quickly turn the other way, an act of defiance and her own stubbornness. Her arms were crossed firmly across her chest and a pout graced her lips.
"Rosie," he smiled when a twitch pulled at her lips at the nickname, "Don't be stubborn you old hag."
"I'll give you an old hag," she replied lamely, a smile forcing its way onto her lips, "Just because I'm smiling does not mean I'm happy with you leaving without any clue as to where you'd gone or notice that you had left," she paused and slowly lowered her arms to her side, "But I guess I'm okay with you being back."
"I know you love me, Rose," he pulled a struggling Rosalie into a large hug, "Its okay, I won't tell anyone."
"Pig," she muttered as her traitorous arms wrapped around her now taller yet younger brother.
As Naruto pulled back, a confused face made its way to his face. He looked towards the stairway, sure that any minute now, the other Cullen would come down to greet him. When this didn't happen, he turned so that every member of the family were in his eye sight, "Where's Edward?"
